Advantages: It ends eventually Disadvantages: The crude scenes, swearing
I've just had the misfortune of watching Yes Man, and you can probably guess that I was really disappointed.
Synopsis
Carl is a bank clerk in charge of approving or denying loans most of which he denies. After separating from his wife, he has withdrawn into his shell and no longer enjoys the company of his friends. In short he's turned into a grumpy old man, that is until he runs into an old friend whilst he's eating his lunch. His friends tells him of a seminar that's coming up in a few days, which gas changed his life for the better.
The concept is simple, you can improve your life by saying 'yes'. And that's what Carl decides to do, but it's not as easy as it sounds, there are somethings you just want to say no to, the trouble is bad things happen when Carl says no.

Carl Allen is an unhappy man who shies away from alot of things, preferring to spend time with himself. His friend often calls him to invite him out with friends for the night but he wants to avoid running into his ex-wife so he does't take the calls. One day, he's told about a personal development program, which he attends a local seminar on, where they explain that in order to move on and become a happier and more positive person, you have to say yes and not no and good things will come from it. He's quite sceptical at first but his friend encourages him to follow through and it doesn't take long before a number of random events takes place which leads to good things happening in his life, in his personal and work life. Things are looking up for Carl but can it ...

Advantages: fun for everyone Disadvantages: could be more cards
lots of fun. The yesno game is a classic game i love to play with friends and family. I recently bought this as previously i just asked questions off the top of my head to my opponent but these questions are a great help.
In the box is a bell and 45 question cards. The game is suitable for 2-6 players of the age of 8 and up. It is a fairly simple game. Basically you can't say yes or no. The person reads out questions out from the card to their opponent hoping to catch them out for example it might say... do you like the colour orange? and they would have to reply something like maybe or of course.
If the person takes too long to answer the question their out and the person dings the bell. If the person says yes or no they also have to ding the bell. You cannot say the same word more than twice during one card. You take it in ...

Album Notes
Seattle's The Girls play brisk, well-constructed synth-punk that splits the difference between the hookiness of British new wave, the slick professionalism of the Cars, and the weirder strains of synth-punk exemplified by American bands such as the Screamers. The band's sophomore effort, YES NO YES NO YES NO, is a remarkably accomplished album filled with pulsating keyboards lines, tight rhythms, and jittery-yet-precise post-punk guitar licks. Singer Shannon Brown's slight Anglo accent gives the proceedings a pleasantly retro feel as well.
Album Reviews
Alternative Press (p.150) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Quirky, new-wave Seattleites The Girls kick off their exciting second LP, YES NO YES NO YES NO, with two raucous electro-punk dancefests..."
